sansao Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 You are not allowed to be as stressful and neurotic as February. Unlike February, you are an adult month and have no excuses, and if you pull a Julius Caesar with me (et tu, [insert university name here]?), I will be very sad. bourbon, LLajax, lumbarmoose and 4 others 7

Kitkat Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 March is such a hopeful month... looking at a near spring. Spring is always a sign of the new, rebirth, of life. As they say, it is always the darkest before the dawn? Let us think that that is the case for us all .... DeeLovely79 and DualCitizenIR 2
cokohlik Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Please let me "March" into graduate school!! I like it.
DualCitizenIR Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 Let's 'march' down the yellow brick road. Hopefully there isn't some fraud at the end of it like in the story...
domnulsl Posted March 2, 2012 Posted March 2, 2012 This waiting process seems like a death "march" through the abyss of frustration... DualCitizenIR 1

finknottle Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I think the trouble started one March when the Hatter murdered 'time' by singing, "Twinkle, twinkle, little bat! How I wonder what you're at! Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky." To quote the Hatter, `he(time) won't do a thing I ask! It's always six o'clock now.'
sansao Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 This thread turned into abstract metaphor central, heh. Beware the ides of March. What with my previous post about "et, tu...," I find this alarming.
rmgerdes Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Hear are some good tidings... after two years of trying and 9 rejections, March brought me my first acceptance! Kitkat 1
sansao Posted March 3, 2012 Author Posted March 3, 2012 Hear are some good tidings... after two years of trying and 9 rejections, March brought me my first acceptance! Awesome! Now if it will just pan out for the rest of us.
We regret to inform you Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Awesome! Now if it will just pan out for the rest of us. SANSAO, i notice you are in arizona and you are applying to geoscience programs. By any chance, are you applying to ASU? i'm applying to their geosciences program on the planetary sciences track, but i haven't heard anything yet. We regret to inform you 1
imisscoffee Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 If I don't get in somewhere, I'll be madder than that one hare -- or was that a hatter? I think someone mentioned him above.

Yes, I am applying to ASU, and I haven't heard anything yet (no one I've talked to has either, btw). Which professors are you looking at? ASU has some pretty awesome planetary science stuff going on right now (including a NASA Space Grant fellowship - go to nasa.asu.edu). I applied to the geophysics/mineral physics focus.
stephanie.ms.antunes Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Hey March, Care to throw an acceptance my way? Thanks pal.
Hillary Emick Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 As of today, my neurotic side kicked into overdrive. The last of my top choice's interview weekends just wrapped up, and they told me that they would be sitting down after that to make final admissions and funding decisions and be mailing those out ASAP. So even though logically I know this is going to take more than a couple hours, I really need to find something else to do to take my mind off obsessively checking my email and their website.

So even though logically I know this is going to take more than a couple hours, I really need to find something else to do to take my mind off obsessively checking my email and their website. I would find that nerve-wracking too. I know you're never supposed to go to interviews with expectations, but I definitely would have been looking for hints throughout the process. I've found solitaire to be helpful in relieving the obsession to some degree (how awful is that?). Also, driving around listening to music was nice (until gas prices went sailing to the moon). Best of luck!
